At Woollahra Dental we would like to share a podcast from The Good Doctors / Health Podcast. The podcast is called: Ortho-postural Dentistry: A Broader View of Oral Health | Dr Anthony Ancell.

HOW TO EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR BODY TYPE - What is somatotype?

Find more about Dr. Anthony Ancell Many people think that “body type” just describes the way someone looks. In fact, your body type can also provide information about how you respond to food intake and about your hormonal and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) characteristics. Physique characteristics can thus be linked to metabolic differences between individuals. Once someone establishes their body type, they can then adjust nutrient intake to maximize body composition and health related goals. There are three general categories of body types (somatotypes): ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. Very few people fall perfectly into one of the three categories. People are often a mix of characteristics. Additionally, years of training and good nutrition can change the outward appearance of one’s body. For instance, a bodybuilder might be mistaken for a “natural” mesomorph when in fact, s/he is really an endomorph who’s trained and dieted hard; or an ectomorph who’s spent ...

The Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Your Body

We found a great article about the effects of sleep deprivation and we would like to share it with our patients and blog followers. Written by Ann Pietrangelo and Stephanie Watson Medically Reviewed by Deborah Weatherspoon, PhD, RN, CRNA on June 5, 2017 If you’ve ever spent a night tossing and turning, you already know how you’ll feel the next day — tired, cranky, and out of sorts. But missing out on the recommended 7 to 9 hours of shut-eye nightly does more than make you feel groggy and grumpy. The long term effects of sleep deprivation are real. It drains your mental abilities and puts your physical health at real risk. Science has linked poor slumber with all kinds of health problems, from weight gain to a weakened immune system. Your body needs sleep, just as it needs air and food to function at its best. During sleep, your body heals itself and restores its chemical balance. Your brain forges new connections and helps memory retention. Without enough sleep, your brain ...

Carb tolerance for your body type

Coming to the festive holiday season, we might need to be more aware of what our bodies can and cannot tolerate. In a previous blog post about BODY TYPES we discussed the characteristics of the different body types and how to eat for each type. Regardless of your body type, body composition, or overall health status, your ability to handle carbohydrate-dense foods is greatly improved the more active you are. This means that the best time to eat a majority of those starchy (or, less ideally, sugary) foods is when you’re most physically active. Depending on your body type, your carb tolerance and needs are different and your strategy should be different to match. Many people think that “body type” just describes the way someone looks. In fact, your body type can also provide information about how you respond to food intake and about your hormonal and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) characteristics. Curious about your body type?
